PROJECT COOPERATES Barber's Training
The Thapelo Institute, Inc., a not-for-profit organization promoting health and fitness for African and African-American Men held a meeting for local barbers at the Negro League Cafe on the south side of Chicago. The event exposed barbers to Project Cooperate and trained them to present a short video on prostate cancer to their customers. The customers then take a short survey to determine if their knowledge of prostate cancer has increased. The goal is to make African and African American Men aware of their increased risk of prostate cancer.
